Method
Step 1:
Grease a 1 litre pie dish with butter.
Step 2:
Cut the crusts off the bread. Spread each slice with on one side with butter, then cut into triangles.
Step 3:
Arrange a layer of bread, butter-side up, in the bottom of the dish, then add a layer of sultanas. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, then repeat the layers of bread and sultanas, sprinkling with cinnamon until you have used up all of the bread. Finish with a layer of bread, then set aside.
Step 4:
Gently warm the milk in a pan over a low heat to scalding point. Don't let it boil.
Step 5:
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add three quarters of the sugar and lightly whisk until pale.
Step 6:
Add the warm milk to the eggs and sugar and stir well, then strain the custard into a bowl.
Step 7:
Pour the custard over the prepared bread layers and sprinkle with nutmeg and the remaining sugar and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Step 8:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, 350°F,gas mark 4).
Step 9:
Place the dish into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard has set and the top is golden brown.

Lovely desert favourite with family
Amazing recipe and perfect to use alternative ingredients for people who are dairy and gluten-free
I used all different ends of wholemeal, rye and other bread I'd collected in the freezer and swapped dates for sultanas (soaked) plus added cardamon instead of cinnamon - came out well. Plus I used oat milk - came out well and different coloured bread ends looked good
Quick and easy dessert!
